This wall decor, a marquetery work made of precious and outstanding metal, has been designed for Pouenat and presented during the Salon Révélations in the Grand Palais in Paris.

It is conceived in a very contemporary way with geometrical forms and soft and elegant colours. Inspired by anamorphous shapes and the will to play on the juxtaposition of matt and glossy materials, Rodolphe Parente wanted to use the Pouenat savoir-faire to achieve this graphical work in which the lighting effects are reinforced by the very specific metal approach.

Rodolphe Parente and Pouenat collaboration results in this singular and innovative wall putting the lights on the various facets of their work and of interior design.

Inspired by the work of famous interior designers such as Pierre Chareau or Carlo Scarpa, Rodolphe Parente decided to study interior design and product design. A graduate from the Ecole Nationale des Beaux Arts of Dijon then the Ecole Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs of Strasbourg, Rodolphe Parente decided to reinforce his initial training in product design in the École Cantonale d’Art de Lausanne.

Then Rodolphe collaborated for a few years with Ms Andrée Putman in Paris. He was in charge of main projects from the furniture with the Morgans chair for Emeco, a furniture collection for Poltrona Frau to the interior design with the refurbishment of the Morgans Hotel in New-York, the Bisazza stand in the Milano Fair and the Anne Fontaine store in New-York.

Thereafter, he worked as artistic director for Malherbe Retail where he carried and took part to the questioning about new commercial identities for different brands such as Dior, Estée Lauder, Sephora. Today, Rodolphe Parente is expanding his own company in constant pursuit for sense of detail, savoir-faire and quality of construction.

In order to save the right tone for his creations, Rodolphe places the user at the center of an artistic process expressing emotions through the quality of drawing. He has been inspired by both the everyday life and an intimate mixture of textures and artistic feelings to draw his creations.
